IMPROVED MODE OF ATTACHING- CORNICES TO WINDOWS.

The Schedule referred to n these Letters Patent and making part of 1;!12 same To all to lwhom these presents shall come Be it known that I, ANTHONY PERLE, of East Billerica, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have made au invention of a new and useful Mode of Attaching Cornices, Ste.; and do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, due reference being had to the accompanying drawings making part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 represents a plan, and

Figure 2, a cross-section of my invention.

This invention is a novel and useful mode of attaching a cornice or other ornament to a window, whereby such cornice may be instantly removed or applied, as well as adjusted endvfise with respect to the window of its frame, as well as to a peculiar construction of the bracket of a curtain-roller, whereby, in addition to its ordinary functions, it serves as a means of securing and supporting the movable cornice to be hereinafter explained.

rlhe object of my invention, in one respect, is to provide alcheap ornament, which will hide from view lthe bracket of a curtain-roller.

The use heretofore of a cornice has been as an ad. dition to or in combination with diaper-curtains, while mine, on the contrary, is to be applied by itself.

In the drawings before mentioned- A denotes an ordinary curtain-roller, and b b, the brackets which uphold the same, these brackets being substantially the same as those now in use, except that they are formed at their front part with two studs or points, c c, as shown in iig. 2.

Bl denotes the cornice or ornament which is now very generally adopted.

Upon the rear side of this cornice two bent wires or clasps, el cl, are iixed, by means of which the cornice is aiiixed to the brackets b b, which thus firmly uphold it.

Theseclasps are of such length that the cornice may be adjusted endwise with respect tothe window and its frame, for reasons which will be apparent to any one.

As before observed, a cornice attached as above cxplained may at once, and with little, if any, trouble,

be removed, or applied or adjusted without the use XVitnesses FRED. CURTIS, E. GRIFFITH.
